Jewish relationship is by bring-
ing the communities together to
work on common-goal, political-
ly oriented projects.
"Sitting down and talking isn't
going to accomplish much," Ms.
Mahaffey said. "The question is,
how do we get together and or-
ganize and mobilize?"
What may have put a glitch in
the relationship is the Million
Man March. Months after last
October's march in Washington,
D.C., some of the Jewish audi-
ence members continue to look
for answers to why so many
African-American males follow
someone like Louis Farrakhan,
who spews hateful messages.

t, ith just a few excep-
tions, Jews sat on one
side of the room and
blacks on the other last
Thursday in the Jewish Com-
munity Center's Shiffman Hall
in West Bloomfield.
Perhaps what set the Jan. 25
dialogue apart was the repre-
sentation of generational views
on racism and anti-Semitism.
Panelists ranged from high-
school students to baby boomers
and slightly older, and the ages
of audience members spanned
teens through seniors.
"Our goal was to get people
talking and give the younger
generation a sense of the histo-
ry shared by blacks and Jews,"
said Eileen Polk, program coor-
dinator of the JCC's adult and
family enrichment department.
"It was interesting to see that
older people perceived racism
and anti-Semitism as problem-
atic while the younger people
didn't acknowledge those prob-
lems among themselves."
The program, called "Building
Bridges to Understanding Jew-
ish African American Relations,"
was sponsored by the Jewish
-

White
Community Cen-
ter and funded
by a JCC grant
for intergenera-
tional program-
ming. Panel
participant in-
cluded Dr.
Arthur Johnson,
former executive director of
the NAACP; Maryann Mahaf-
fey, president of the Detroit City
Council; Judge Helene White
of the Michigan Court of Ap-
peals; Gail Gales, Southfield-
Lathrup High School teacher;
and students Sarah Chopp of
Southfield and Garr McCrim-
mon of Detroit.
While much of the talk focused
on the root of the problem — and
whether in fact there is a prob-
lem — Ms. Mahaffey suggested
the best way to rebuild the black-
"Jews have to accept the good
and the not-so-good and get on
with it," said Judge White. "Yet
the African-American commu-
nity should understand where
Jews are coming from."
With some of the most candid
comments of the evening, Dr.
Johnson said the issue of anti-
Semitism is
pressed too hard
by members of
the Jewish com-
munity.
Many African-
American audi-
ence members
echoed Dr. John-
son's sentiments,
saying the issues
are more black-
white as opposed
to black-Jewish.
"When I look
at a white per-
son who hap-
pens to be
Jewish, I don't
see a white Jew-
ish person; I see a white person,"
said one young audience mem-
ber.
Ms. Gales said, based on her
school experience, that there is
no anti-Semitism among the
black segment of her student
population. She speculated that
any problems with anti-Semi-
tism start once teens are out of
school.
"I wonder what happens to
students in the real world," she
said. ❑
